The fearless anthology series Love, Death + Robots has returned for a fourth volume of mechanical madness. You can always expect this anthology series to serve up some wild stuff, and Volume 4, streaming now on Netflix, is definitely no exception.

“I try to get a mix of horror, sci-fi, and fantasy,” creator Tim Miller (Deadpool, Terminator: Dark Fate) tells Tudum about the new lineup of shorts. “And we work with some really fucking fantastic writers and artists.”

Who is the creative team behind Love, Death + Robots Volume 4?

Love, Death + Robots is created by Tim Miller and is executive produced by David Fincher (Mindhunter, The Killer). Jennifer Yuh Nelson (Kung Fu Panda 2, Kill Team Kill) returns as supervising director. Miller, Nelson, and Fincher have all directed episodes of the series: Fincher made his animation debut with Volume 3’s “Bad Traveling.”

Each episode of Love, Death + Robots comes from a different team of artists.

Miller told Netflix, “One of my biggest joys in making LDR — and I think David shares this feeling — is when artists or directors make choices you would never make. Their ideas, shot choices, angles, sense of timing — whatever — is something foreign to your visual language but also awesome!”

Nelson added, “What makes Love, Death + Robots special, really — and what makes it sort of glow — is the fact that everybody that works on it, every director, every artist, every studio, really is putting so much more of themselves into this. Everybody understands that they’re making something that’s a little special. I think that shows in the final product. Each glowing episode is that way because the people who worked on it loved it.”

Where can I watch the Love, Death + Robots Volume 4 trailer?

As you can see in the trailer at the top of this article, you can always expect the unexpected and un-called for when it comes to Love, Death + Robots. The upcoming volume will include T. rex gladiators, scheming felines, household appliances who need better work-life balance, and much more.

“Our hope is that people begin to understand that this is a boundary-less sandbox,” said Fincher. “You know, we want to be able to play. We just want to be able to surprise people and show them stuff that hopefully scares them, or gives them the giggles: eye candy worth 11 minutes or six minutes of their time.”

“There's amazing adaptability and flexibility there,” Nelson said. “Sometimes you have to just let it go where it’s going to go. Each season is colored differently because of the stories that are chosen. Sometimes they’re a little bit funnier, sometimes they’re really dark, sometimes they’re more focused on action. I think this season we’ve really tried to balance the light and the dark, the humor, and the real tragedy.”

How many episodes will there be in Love, Death + Robots Volume 4?

There are 10 original shorts in the new volume, each one boundary-pushing in its own way.

“I really think audience tastes are changing,” said Nelson. “They don’t accept what they’ve accepted before. They want something that is challenging and interesting and surprising, and that requires a lot more creative jiu-jitsu from the people making them. The shows that people talk about are the ones that probably were the hardest and riskiest to do.”
